Good afternoon. My wife (65) and I (67) will be visiting Malta and Gozo on a weeklong tour in November. We've heard it is a great place to retire to. I am currently consulting with several companies in the renewable energy/energy storage areas and will likely continue to do so, at least initially. If we retire to Malta, we would also be bringing our mini Golden Doodle and cat. Based on our initial read of the areas, Gozo's slower pace makes it the more likely long-term destination. Politically, we are of the Progressive-Democrat variety. I say this as some expat communities can be somewhat insular, and I prefer to spend my sunset years amongst similar-minded people. Any advice to aid our decision-making, either before or during our visit, would be most welcome. Thanks, Chris

Hi there and welcome.

If you have any questions then start a new thread:

You may wish to introduce yourself, with likes, dislikes, reason for the move, have you been to Malta before?

Thanks @SimCityAT

The Maltese weather attracts me the most and the people as well. I work as a freelancer and not much worried about the job thing. Right now I'm exploring the forum and looking at the previous threads to find relevant information.

Hi, welcome! One heads-up: as a Canadian you can only stay 90 days visa-free, so for a December move you'll want Malta's Nomad Residence Permit (for remote freelancers earning €42k+/year with clients abroad). It takes some time to process, so worth starting soon. If you need help with the process, I'm happy to share some useful contacts - just drop me a message.
